I have a FCU (fused spur box)controlling a spur off a ring main in a lean too shed
Is it ok to fit a fused spur fused 2A feeding a 100W fixed bulkhead fitting controlled by a 1 way switch on the end of the spur the total load is not over 5A with other loads.
 
As long as there is a 13A fuse in the initial spur on the ring final, then you can technically fit any additional load after that as the ring final cableing is protected. Obviously you are limited to the 13A so as long as you're sure it wont be exceeded then it will be fine.
